NEW CASTLE, Del. (AP) — Some New Castle County hotels are seeing a modest boost thanks to the Democratic National Convention in nearby Philadelphia. General managers of hotels in the northern part of the county tell the Wilmington News Journal (http://delonline.us/2a5GnRa ) they're reporting a slight increase in bookings due to the convention, which starts Monday. Paul Rada, chairman of the Delaware Hotel & Lodging Association, says his 125-room Clarion Hotel-The Belle sold 50 rooms in May to people attending the convention. When Philadelphia hosted the Republican National Convention in 2000, convention goers booked more than 1,500 rooms in New Castle County, adding an estimated $3 million to the economy.
